Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Psychologist.: Depression is terrible. Hurts both emotionally and physically. Counseling with a psychologist would be your best bet to find a lasting remedy. Medications can help in the short term, but are not an appropriate replacement for counseling. Good luck.

Get psychiatric help: Depression is a common and painful condition. It can be caused by external circumstances, chemical imbalances in the body, and also may have an inherited component. A combination of antidepressant prescription and psychiatric counseling is frequently effective. It's important to consult a psychiatrist, because untreated depression can worsen and impair a person's ability to relate and work.
